You balance the tension between what is given and what is possible with great care. And yes, we are always responsible for how we listen.

Thank you

Thank you for that reminder. It’s very much about HOW WE LISTEN.

Wow… this really hits. The way you frame life as a collection of things we never chose, and then show choice starting in how we translate it—that’s so powerful.

So glad to stir thought! Thanks for being here, friend!

So much resonance, translation feels like the only possible multidimensional language. Well, that and music :) Which I guess is another kind of translation.

Reading this brought a calm pause. So much of life is given, not chosen, yet the dignity lies in how we respond to it moment by moment.

The idea of translation feels honest and grounding. Thank you for sharing this reflection.

It’s a grounding reminder that the life we experience is less about the hand we’re dealt, and more about how we learn to read it.

Love the way you phrased that, Anil. Thank you for reading and reflecting. -Steph
